religious freedom is one of our most important civil rights. however, it is not only a fundamental civil right in the united states. it is also a globally recognized universal and fundamental norm of international human rights law. act 18 says everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. these rights include freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom either alone or in community with others and in public or private to manifest his religion or belief in teaching practice worship and observance. the right to religious freedom has not only been one of the cornerstones of the american legal system, it has also been a priority of the united states foreign policy to promote and defend this fundamental human rights around the world. for example, during the cold war the defense of international religious freedom enabled the united states to effectively show the importance of respect for democracy and human rights. despite the end of the cold war, violations of religious freedom around the world are still widespread.
